After a wee break recovering from last weekend, I have decided to finish off a few projects that were 80% completed. First up is my early to mid war Australian force. First Company leads with these platoons stands. Above ESCI 8th Army rifleman and a converted HAT WW1 ANZAC. Putty added to the HAT figure to give him gaiters instead of leggings. My mate Phil did this a few years ago. The WW1 webbing was still quite common for the period as a rapidly growing army grabbed all it could find to equip their troops.
2nd Platoon with classic Revell Australians.
Command stand, again Revell figures.
3rd Platoon to round the Company off. HAT conversion again, with Revell Bren gunner.
Company frontage shot. I am happen to get these based...once again, for some of them it is their third mounting! These would be fine against Al's newly completed French Foreign Legion in Lebanon, or Greece and Crete campaigns. Not actually that interested in most North African themes as I have enough on my plate as it is.
Nice work mate.
ReplyDeleteCheers mate!I love these Revell figures.
ReplyDeleteGood work Paul
ReplyDeleteThe guy on the far left stands out a bit, I think it's his tin hat, but that's a rather smart Australian company you've got there
No Pom officers wearing Pom Poms either
Good point Geordie, scatchbuilt tin helmet, it was supposed to be covered in hessin.
ReplyDeleteNo fear on the pommie front, I will leave them for Al.
